OpenAI just admitted prompt injection against AI agents is "unsolvable."

65% of enterprises have zero defenses.

We solved it.

AI Shield Module 19: Agent Runtime Protection detects malicious prompts in real-time, monitors what your AI agents are doing, and provides court-admissible cryptographic proof when incidents happen.

Think of it as antivirus software, but for AI agents.

The problem: AI agents can be tricked into doing things they shouldn't - transferring funds, leaking data, deleting files.

Our solution: Three layers of protection:

1. Detection - Catches prompt injection attacks as they happen
2. Monitoring - Watches agent behavior for anomalies
3. Evidence - Creates tamper-proof audit trails

Why us? We're the only solution that runs on your infrastructure (not cloud), works offline, and provides cryptographic proof for compliance and forensics.

The EU AI Act goes into force August 2026. Can you afford to take the risk?

Enquiries welcome. Limited pilot availability.

A collection of defensive and offensive security tools, research projects, and internal R&D maintained by Red Specter.
Built for security teams, incident responders, and authorized researchers.
Detect → Block → Contain → Prove.

After 30+ years in technology—from MS-DOS to AI security—I've built AI Shield: an 18-module framework for AI threat detection, forensics, and incident response.

Compliant with: → EU AI Act
→ ISO/IEC 42001 (AI Management System)
→ NIST AI Risk Management Framework
→ ISO/IEC 23894 (AI Risk Management)

The decision: Partnership with a compliance platform vs. open source release.

The pattern is clear:

• Kubernetes commoditized containers
• Terraform forced AWS to adapt
• Prometheus disrupted monitoring

Open source wins in security tooling because security teams trust code they can audit.

If AI Shield goes open source:

• Enterprises deploy it for free (global AI compliance covered)
• They ask: "Why am I paying £15K-£40K/year for compliance platforms when operational security is free?"
• Compliance platforms become "documentation tools"

The alternative: Strategic partnership with one platform. Exclusive integration. Competitive moat.

Decision timeline: Under evaluation through February 2026.

Red Specter focuses on practical visibility and response across:

• Botnet activity and early-stage DDoS signals
• C2-style outbound behaviour and beaconing
• Sudden service exposure and brute-force patterns
• AI-era risks: shadow AI usage, prompt injection, data leakage, and model integrity
• Fast containment and evidence-first reporting

This profile README is a high-level inventory with links to each repo.

A fully integrated, production-ready platform for AI security governance and incident response.

Red Specter AI Shield unifies 18 security modules—from prevention to forensic response—into a single deployable suite.
It provides the operational security layer that compliance platforms cannot deliver.

NEW: AI Shield Module 19 - Agent Runtime Protection addresses the #1 AI security threat: prompt injection and autonomous agent compromise. Learn more →

Current compliance platforms provide:

• Policy templates and questionnaires
• Documentation frameworks
• Audit trail management

What they don't provide:

• Tamper-evident evidence chains
• Forensic artifact collection
• Real-time incident response capabilities
• Demonstrable operational controls

Regulations demand operational proof:

• EU AI Act Article 12: Logging and traceability requirements
• ISO/IEC 42001: Demonstrable AI management controls
• NIST AI RMF: Continuous monitoring and risk management
• ISO/IEC 23894: Operational risk assessment

AI Shield delivers what regulations actually require—not just documentation.

✅ Integrated Platform: 18 modules on a unified event schema (RS Event v1)
✅ Module 19: Runtime protection for autonomous AI agents (prompt injection detection, action monitoring, evidence chains)
✅ Forensic Evidence: Automated, tamper-evident case packaging (timeline + IOCs + hashes)
✅ Operational Coverage: 18 playbooks mapped to modules + sanity coverage checker
✅ CSOAI-ready Export: Submission summary + export bundle + checksums (Watchdog-style evidence packaging)
✅ Local GUI: 4-button web interface for golden-path workflows (Preflight → Init → Build → Verify)
✅ Cross-Platform: Full Linux/WSL2 support, automated Windows installer available
✅ Compliance Ready: EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 23894 alignment

The threat landscape has fundamentally shifted with AI-powered attacks reaching industrial scale.

Red Specter's stance is simple:

1. Detect early — Spot threats before they cause damage
2. Block where you can — Prevent unauthorized actions at policy chokepoints
3. Contain fast — Rapid response with one-command containment
4. Prove everything — Evidence-first: hashes, timelines, tamper-evident case packs

• AI-powered phishing reaching unprecedented sophistication
• Shadow AI usage creating compliance and data leakage risks
• Prompt injection attacks bypassing traditional security controls (OpenAI admits "unsolvable")
• Model poisoning targeting RAG systems and fine-tuned models
• Deepfake fraud in voice/video authentication
• Regulatory pressure demanding demonstrable operational controls (EU AI Act: August 2026)
• Agent autonomy risks - 65% of enterprises lack AI-specific security controls

AI Shield Module 19 addresses the #1 threat enterprises face in 2026: compromised autonomous agents.
